Is 800lbs on leg press alot?

The problem is that you are preoccuppied with weight. Who cares about 800lbs? Find weights that make your quads grow.

To a newbie 800lbs on the sled is a lot. . to an IFBB pro its a warmup.

Whether or not 800lbs is a lot is a matter of personal perception. There is no right or wrong answer.

i am in no-way preocuppied with weight. its was a quick thought that turned into a post that was hyjacked by fruit cakes. stop replying to me like im a fking newB. i dont train legs because natrually i have ok legs, that doesnt make me a newb.

I all honesty 800lbs is a nice amount of weight and depending on size of the lifter it will be pretty bad-ass. I really think the best way to approach weight is look at it in a objective viewpoint, how was the form, how much did the person weigh, and are they progressing. I am really impressed by lifting who are humble enough to put on 135lbs on the squat go to parallel depth or slightly further and get solid reps and add only 2.5-5lbs a week. But that is my mind set.

Bro that is so true..Personally i laugh (to myslef) when i see someone pile weight on and using horrible form for 2 bs reps!! Yet the other day i saw an older gentleman doing squats with great form and 135 on the bar..do i think hes a pussy NOPE i have more respect for him for doing things properly..leave the ego at the door, your muscle will thank you later!!

800lbs, i weigh 165, and i can promise you, that you will not find imperfections in my form at ALL. this is why i was 105lbs 3 years ago. just started first cycle of var, not even a week ago.

Get weight out of your head man.... Take an 800lb leg press and slow the pos/neg to 6-7 sec up and down... My guess is half the guys that say they could leg press 1200-1500lb couldnt get through 8 reps.

Sink your knees into your armpits, nice and deep. Form is key. Weight is secondary. PEACE

800lbs (assuming full ROM with controlled reps) is fine, in fact that's what I did for 7 yesterday but the leg press is a 100% USDA prime bullshit exercise and I would never do it if my back wasn't blow out. Like suston says I'd have more respect for someone squatting 135 deep
